Nonsense

It is delightful to draw nonsense, provided that the nonsense is well-founded.

I'm pretty sure dragons taste like pistachios. At least the green ones.

I’m a bit of an anatomy geek when it comes to my design work, and I wanted to show that—especially with large, bulky creatures—I often find a "perspective stage" helpful during the initial sketching phase.

I draw a few box-like concrete blocks in the space and then place the figure on top of them. These blocks automatically become a kind of measuring tool for volume, depth, and perspective throughout the design process. I’ve been doing it this way for—what feels like—forever.

Guys, please excuse me—this is a joke; I was just messing with a drawing that didn't turn out right.

Donald Duck Facial Expression Stress Test: Preliminary sketch process

Preliminary sketch, including light digital test coloring, prepared as a second step for further work with real paints.

Rough and scratchy

... and the colors just slapped on. More process examples from my catalog of incredibly rough preliminary sketches. Everything is rough—just dashed off.

And as you can see, devising mobility solutions for Donald Duck has become a chronic pleasure of mine.

Picsou Magazine

The French Disney magazine *Picsou* (French for Scrooge McDuck) has showcased my wacky duck deconstructions over a few pages. What a feast for the beaks—and for me.

Wolf at the pencils

A pretty accurate depiction of that moment at work when the lines of the drawings start to feel like overcooked capellini pasta. That’s when it’s time to take a break.

Coat of Arms: Steiermark

I had already posted this before, hadn't I—my rebranding of the coat of arms of the Austrian federal state where I live: Steiermark.

On the left is my rebrand; at the top right, the current official version; and at the bottom left, a early version from around 1340.

Incidentally, the heraldic animal—a panther—is not a panther in the literal sense, but a mythical creature. It has a horse's head, a lion's mane, a lion's tail, bull's horns, and claws. Originally, the panther breathed fire—a feature symbolizing strength and defensive prowess. I swapped the fire for a piping-hot espresso, and the mythical panther creature for my favorite cartoon panther.

* Erwin Schrödinger (see Schrödinger's Cat Experiment) didn't intend to describe a real physical scenario, but rather to illustrate the absurdity of a particular interpretation of quantum mechanics. I had now invited myself to further increase the density of absurdity with Donald and his well-known superpositions of states.

Steamboat Willie: Story Moment (2026)

Donald Plus

Here I had digitally revised an analog preliminary drawing, very roughly, but then I didn't pursue it further. That is, not yet.

*Donald Duck's binge watching adaptation: he grew some solid new tail feathers for a better seating comfort. He even can fall asleep without falling over.

A drawn smile,as I see it

Here is the colored clean-up of my Steamboat Willie piece ...

#steamboatwillie #mickeymouse #postpopart

Willie!

The boat here is intentionally much smaller than in the original film, in order to make Mickey – or rather Willie – appear much larger in relation to the steamboat (comparable – a little – to the African Queen, in terms of boat size) to fit everything neatly onto a portrait-format drawing sheet.

Cardboardboat Willie

As a child I had the idea of building a ship out of cardboard, which I would then coat on the outside with candle wax to make it waterproof and seaworthy.

Duck Review

Here is a lovely recent review (in German) from the culture section of the newspaper Nürnberger Nachrichten towards the show "Enten, die sich in Raketen retten", which is on display until the end of July in the exhibition rooms of the Erlangen Comic Museum, Erlangen, Germany.

Paperinik, also known as Duck Avenger, Phantomias, Superduck, PK, Super Donald, Phantom Duck etc.

I had basically declared the FAT 313 Car/The Six Million Dollar Car project finished. That is, until Paperinik also wanted to take it for a spin.

In Erlangen, the ducks didn't have to save themselves from anyone!

Erlangen was fantastic. I just got back and I still need to process all the wonderful things that happened. Talk soon!
